Perfumista Etiquette Perfume Posse

I sold off most of my perfume collection this winter, partly because I needed the dough and partly because at some point I'm going to have to move, and I wasn't packing several hundred bottles of perfume. It was a little sad, and also very liberating.

Old habits die hard, dontcha know?
So share with us what you did to ring in the new year, what scent you wore, what you plan to buy in the new year, your perfume resolutions, or anything else that tickles your fancy.
And from all of us here at the Posse, thanks for being such great...

Perfume Posse and I are not responsible or liable.
Patty wrote this in a post this week, I'm pasting it here: "The best rule I have, make sure the entire swap is complete and both parties say they are happy before you open and start using. If you swap for a fragrance and for some reason the

Everyone ready? I'm sending perfumed hugs out to all of you lovely Posse peeps.
